My son, there's nothing on earth
so mysteriously funny as an adver-
tisement. The prime, first. last. and
all-the-time object Of an advertise
ment is to draw custom. 1t is not.
was not, and never will be designed
for any other purpose. So the
merchant waits till the season comes
and his store is so full Of custom he
can't get his hat off, and then he
rushes to his printer and goes in for
advertising. When the dull season
gets along, and there is no trade
and he wants to sell his goods so
bad he can't pay bis rent, he stops
his advertising. That is, some of
them do; but occasionally a level.
headed merchant does more Of it.
and scoops In all the business. while
bis neighbOrs are making mort.
cages 10 pay the gas bill. There
are times when you couldn't stop
people buying everything in the
store ifyou planted a cannon behind
the door, and that's the time the ad.
vertisemcnt is sent out on its holy
mission. il makes light work for
advertising, tor a chalk sign on the
side walk could do al that was
needed, and have a halfholidav six
days in week; but who wants TO
favor an advertisement They are
built 90 do hard work, and should
be sent out in the dull DAYS. when
p customer has to be knocked down
with hard facts, and kicked insensi.
bic with bankrupt reductions. and
dragged lin with irresistible slaughter
Of prices, before he will spend a
cent.
That's the aim and end Of adver.
Using, my son; and ifyou ever open
a store don't try TO get them TO
come when they are already stick
ing ont Of the windows. but give
them your advertisement right be-
tween the eyes in the dull season.
and you will wax rich. and own a

Masons and Temperance.

Several of the Grand Lodges in
the west have passed resolutions
expelling member of the Order for
liquor selling, and refusing admit
lance to the Craft ofapplicants who
are engaged in the business. We
do not profess to be running 4 pro-
hibition paper, but we are glad to
see that the subject is attracting at
tcntion.
One of the first things that the
candidate for Masonic honors is
taught is temperance. This is the
first OF the four cardinal virtues of
Masonry. Temperance is that due
restraint upon our affections and
passions which renders the body
tame and governable, and frees the
mind from the allurements Of vice.
This virtue should be the constant
practice of every Mason, as he is
thereby taught to avoid excess =
= which might lead him to dis
close, etc" 1t is an cid saying
that when the wine is in the wit is
out, and while we have no personal
knowledge that any of the secrets
of Masonry have been revealed, it
would seem as if no Mason who
had his senses would divulge any
of the ceremonies or any of the
principles that were impressed upon
him in so solemn manner as are
those of the Masonic fraternity upon
those who enter her doors. While
there are a great many men who
can indulge in stimulating bever-
ages without committing any
breaches of trust or etiquette, there
are others who can not. There are
probably as many of both kinds OF
men above described in Masonry
as in any other particular branch OF
society. A part of Mason's duty
is to help, aid and assist brother
Mason. His duty TO himself as a
Mason, to his Lodge as a body OF
Masons, and to the whole brother.
hood of Masons, demands that he
use his best efforts for the elevation
OF the standard of Masonry. Can
any man who is a Mason fully com
ply with his whole duty and deal
in the agent which robs men OF
their mind, their reason, and their
earnings? 1t may be said that the
dealer does not intend to sell to Ma
sons. That is a very lean excuse.
a business man has his interests in
his business, and if his business is to
sell Intoxicating liquors he is not
apt TO stop to question a man as to
whether he is a Mason or not. The
only question in his mind is, whether
the purchaser has the money to paw
for the liquor or not 1t is consid-
cred unmasonic for liquors to be
sold or used in a Masonic Lodge
room, or the rooms in or about the
temple, and if this is so, why not
more to sell intoxicant liquors to
men that will defile the temple OF
reason and make strong man like
weak babe and a wise man an
idiot? We think the step a wise
one, and look forward to the time
when a similar resolution will be on
the constitution books of all Grand
Lodges of this country L0omis
Musical and Masonic Journal.

THE FAIR.

This was literally an agricultural
Fair. The stock and agricultural
products were simply magnificent and
demonstrated not only the capabilities
of the climate and soils of that section
of our State, but still better, the spirit
Of progress which has fastened itself
upon those good people. The Catawba
Fair is now a fixed institution and we
confidently predict that within the
next five years it will be one of the
most attractive and successful fairs in
the South. The management is to be
congratulated on the success attained
under. the pressure of such fearful
weather. Rain, continuous rain and
mud and slush did not deter the man
ayers nor the people. They had their
promised speech from Gov. Vance on
Thursday, and one from the writer
and from Senator Ransom on Friday,
and even the promised marriage of a
happy couple on the grand stand.
The display of cattle, horses and all
kinds of ~ield-crops, was superb. With
such men as President Reinhardt,
Messrs. Hall, Robinson, Rowe, Will
fong and others to guide it, and with
the support of the substantial and
thrifty Catawba people, the Catawba
Fair must and will be a great success

THE DEMANDS OF THE FARM.
ERS. fn\

We publish this week the demands
set forth by the Farmers National
Alliance at Shreveport. This body
was composed Of representative men
from ten States. we ask our readers
to examine them carefully. They
embody questions which will come
prominently before the American
people for their consideration and de-
cision. They r not presented by
politicians, or Office holders or Office
seekers, but they come from the great
body of voters of this country. They
are presented for the calm and patri-
otto consideration Of the wealth-pro-
ducing classes of the country, without
regard to name or party. It is possible.
that self-constituted bosses will affect
to scorn these questions as emanating
from a source unworthy their atten-
ton. They. may possibly raise the
howl that farmers are gong into
politics and thus attempt to intimi-
date us, but the day has passed when.
the sturdy yeomanry and faithful tax
payers of the country r to be thus
driven from their high duty.
These are great questions of a po-
litico-economic character, which over
shadow all questions of mere partisan
policy, and which the farmers of this
land intend shall be recognized. The
Alliance, the Grange nor the Farmers
Clubs, recognizes no member by his
